Having a hard time finding temporary help? The search for labor keeps many contractors up at night. For many companies, legally hiring foreign workers is the answer. Taking the first step to employing reliable labor can be tough, especially in your line of business. Whether you're a veteran, or a newcomer to the guest worker programs, the process is ever changing, and can make it difficult or overwhelming to keep up with. Don't let that prevent you from getting the reliable workforce you so desperately need. This seminar focuses on the current H2A and H2B environment including: how to manage your company’s H2A and H2B efforts, what’s happening in D.C., how to ensure your company is compliant with federal regulations and how the programs can become part of the solution to your labor demands. Room 162
